What is a Totem?
The occurrence of totems is widespread throughout Africa, and indeed, throughout the world. It is an ancient practice that identifies certain characteristics across the species divide, and intrinsically links humans to the natural world. Totems hold significant cultural and spiritual value for many of Botswana’s indigenous people.

They are symbolic representations of a strong association with a particular animal or object and with the natural world in general. These symbols are used in various African cultural practices to identify clan or family affiliations, maintain a sense of cultural identity and pride, and connect individuals to their ancestral roots. In the past, chiefs would adorn their dwelling places and paraphernalia with images of the clan’s totem, and today, many different clans share the same totem even though they are not related

Cultural Skill Transfer
Our forefather within the region had been so rich & talented with indigenous skills of different types, this had sustained their families through the trying times, they did all they knew how to designed crafts, other products, sign songs, poems, and danced to attract tourists and other markets.

Due to societal changes and other influences these skills haven’t been easily passed from generation to generation effectively.
• The project seeks to identify the cultural skills gatekeepers with the wealth of indigenous skills.
• Package the skills as products & services, preserve them and diversify for socio economic empowerment.
